Abstract
In this paper we present an adaptive driver alert system that uses passive techniques for extracting psycho-physiological features from the user, and a head-up display actuator that hands preprocessed information about the driving behavior back to the user. The paper starts with background information on driver inattentiveness. That followed we present our conception of an adaptive loop with a view to improve the driver’s attention. We give an overview on current research on sensor and actuator techniques that support our adaptation strategy attaining data about user drowsiness and distraction. Then we describe a suitable hardware and software solution for the proposed system, using a head-up display and vision-based sensor techniques. We close describing first tests of our system in the lab and road tests with a Ferrari car.
